I recieve a e mail that shuts down my computer when i try to open it .what can i do to stop it ? (link)
Most likely it is some sort of virus, so I'd say if it's from someone you do not know delete it, if it's from a friend send them a separete message asking if they sent you something and what it said... If they have no idea what your talking about then it is for sure a virus and it is best to just delete it... If you get junk mail, or strange looking e-mails delete them then I suggest running a anti-virus scanner after too just to be sure nothing is hidding in your system...

ok so i like this boy, right? and he is really hot and sweet and i talk to him sometimes in spanish class. i really wish i could speed up the process of becoming pals...friends...and hopefully bf/gf. I dont want to seem to desperate or weird during this process. Do you have any tips to catch his eye or say to him?
thanks (link)
well best advice is to go over and engage in the ever powerful conversation... talk to him till he talks back ;)


My boyfriend & I broke up over a month ago. We haven't talked alot and he has moved on already with a new girlfriend. I've still been trying to get myself back together over the breakup and I have started flirting with guys & getting back in the game. I'm just still hung up on my ex and it feels horrible to know he moved on so quickly. How am I supposed to let him go and finally be able to let myself be happy with my life? He was the only serious boyfriend I had & we were together over a year. I really need to move on. (link)
You just haven't found anyone to get you over it yet... best advice hang out with your girlfriends more and try and get involved in other things. Some people move on in a week some in a year, if he's the week kind and your the year kind, it can seem crazy frusterating and depressing, but it's not because he didn't care about you, it's that he either found someone, or couldn't stand being a lone, think of it this way, most likely he's just on the rebound from you and this new girl probably won't last, nor mean as much. It's ok to feel bad, you just need to keep doing what your doing, try to move on and re adjust to being single, that is why friends are a must... Learn to have fun on your own again... enjoy having no commitment for awhile!


Around what time should you take a pregnacy test? Days before your period? after your period? or at any time? (link)
Umm if you had your period, chances are greatly in the favor that you are not pregnant ;)... you use then after you miss a period, meaning more than a few days late...


i am really having a hard time right now. my parents and i are always fighting.and im not gunna say its allt there fault but like i juss start screaming or they juss start screaming and i cant take it. there so much anger going on in my house. they just dont like me. i cant remember the last time they said "i love you" i cant talk to them about anything. i mean like we say hi and bye and stuff but thats about it. i dont get along with them and they dont get alng with me. i alway dont really have "friends". like sure there are people that i hang out with on the weekends and at school and stuff but i dont have friends like every one has where you can like cry on their sholuder and spill your heart out. not have friends has just put so much on my mind that i cant concentrate in school and my grade are slipping and then my parents scream more. also i have never had a boy friend and thats not that much of a big deal but it make me feel more unloved. i need someone to open up to. i have thought about killing my self many times. i even cut my self for a while but now i stopped. i cray my self to sleep EVERY singlt night. i need someone. i feel so lonely and deserted

im 13/f if that helps (link)
Just because your parents yell doesn't mean you are unloved... my parents yell at me, more so when I was your age then now, but I felt sooo terrible, finally I told my mom in a fit of tears all the yelling made me feel like I couldn't do anything right and made me feel like crap. You're at a frusterating age, a time when you want to fit in, yet stand on your own and conflicts happen... all you have to do is talk to your parents about how you feel, or tell them you think that you as a family should go talk to somone to work your problems out. As for friends, I can definetly relaite, don't worry about a boyfriend. I was 17 before I got my first and waiting till I found someone really worth my time was the best thing I ever did, sure I wanted one, I wanted to be "normal" but I finally asked myself "What was the point? 99.9% of the time you won't marry that person, you probably won't even be good friends after it's over, so why rush yourself into it..." I know it's hard to tell yourself that, but just keep doing it, you're not abnormal, if anything you'll learn from other people you see what a bad relationship is and when you get one it will be better and more meaningful than the pety ones your friends have. I never really had close friends at your age, till I got involved in horses. when I did that I met people I could really relate to, better than the few aquantences I hardly even had. You need to find something like that to do, build your friends off some activity you enjoy doing... like sports or anything? if you really feel so sad and hate yourself a lot of the time, don't be afraid to ask for proffessional help, you may have depression, a lot of people have it and it's very treatable, don't feel bad about having someone look into it, you shouldn't have to hate yourself, and don't feel unloved, because if you really were gone I know for a fact you would be missed a lot!


How do you know when your boyfriend/girlfriend is ready to have sex? I'm ready, but I don't know how to find out if he is. (link)
You will be ready when you both are ready... You may be messing around and your body is saying "do me!" but that doesn't mean you are ready. Talk to him and find out if he has any intention to wait, if so repect that. Take things as they go, get as bold as you are comfortable with and he'll let you. Do you know about birth contril, about protection, diseases, and how babies are made?


I'm a girl, and here's my situation... Okay, I like someone, but he all ready told me he just wanted to be friends. Later, he didn't talk to me for a long time, and got a girlfriend. I dunno what it means when he says that he just wants to be friends, and then he all of a sudden doesn't talk anymore to me, and only gives me a slight head nod when I say hi; no more high-fives or anything. I mean, he seems like the same guy, but he acts so different around me. Recently he broke up with his girlfriend, and I'm not so positive if he's going to act that way around me still. I really love this guy, but I'm just getting unsure of what he's doing. He's not the shy type I don't think, and I dunno how I can approach him with this kinda stuff. He probably knows I like him, still.

HELP! (link)
Ok, basically you have to understand that "I just want to be friends" is a glorified rejection to your advances. Most likely him saying that, did not mean, "ok you're my new best friend." or "I want to see you all the time." He was being nice in saying no to you... Him "disapearing" from you is not wrong or abnormal, its pretty common. The girlfriend had nothing to do with it, your intrest made him feel maybe a bit awkward in being around you so he probably avoids you to avoid the feeling. He's moving forward, and on with his life, and you'll just have to accept that he's not the one for you, if he was he'd be with you. If you really want to be his friend then well go out of your way to talk to him instead of noding back at him or saying "hi"... let it go, or make an effort don't ponder what went wrong...


what should I do if I have a bf but I kinda like another guy and I always have!But I want the other guy to like me cause if he does I wanna dump my bf what should I do to get his attention right now he currently has a gf!!!! And I have been hrt ackin what should I do to get his attention and to get him to notice me !!!??
Truley,
ME! (link)
Ok, first break up with the person your with now... really, if you'd leave him for another man then how fair is it to him to stay with him till you get something "better" when it would be just as easy to end it and move on... Also, if you're not single, then why would this other guy want to show intrest, there is a 10 times greater chance of rejection and everyone fears rejection, so break up with your boyfriend now, tell him things have changed and you need a change, then talk to this other guy, and if you're really bold ask him out, but when you're single, not with your boyfriend now...


I want to make my best friend a care package to cheer her up because that's just the sort of thing we do for each other. I guess I should put candy in it and maybe some fun little toys but I want unique little fun things, not stupid redundant little things that aren't really that fun. Anything you can think of that's surprisingly entertaining yet fits in a lunch bag? (link)
You know you'd be amazed how stupid funny things like a bag of dollar store farm animals of a can of Spam will go... stupid things like that generally make people really laugh as long as you include something that’s not a gag and is serious so she doesn't think she's just a joke to you... hair things (if she like them) nail polish... small picture frame film you could get creative just walk around a drug store you'd be amazed what you and find ;)


i had a friend a long time ago. i last heard from him about six or seven years ago. he was living in japan. his name was Masaki Bando and is probably around 12 or 13 years old. how do i find him if he may be all the way across the world??? i miss him like crazy and i really want to send him an email or something. please help me find him! (link)
I'm not sure how you would go about this... I've never done it before, but I wish you luck, hopefully you can locate him...


just before christmas i had a fight with two of my at the time best friends my mum was there and everything one of my friends called my6 month pregnant mum a f*****n fat mole and i whent off my head at her like any daughter would about 3 days after that we came back from our x-mas holidays to find a notice in our letter box asking either me or my mum to ring the police station. the next day my mum rang the police and a cop came to talk to us the bitches had put out a report on me saying that i said i was going to kill them and i was going to stab them which i DID NOT say the cops let it be and said that she is just trying to get attention. now they have gone around telling other people that my mum said she was going to stab them, but she told the police it was me so they are lying to everyone trying to press charges on me so i really need some advice on what to do here please (link)
It's called a court order... if there really making you nervous or upset get a restraining order... that way anymore of that crap will get them fined or thrown in jail...


i want to do it on prom night but what if my boyfriend forgets a condum i mean should i wait till he gets one or shouldi go make him buy one? (link)
I don't understand the thing with prom night as a great night to do it... ok yeah they've made it into this big romantic ordeal, but really it's not... you'll have far more fun if your not worrying about sex rather just dancing with your friends and boyfriend... really think over that decision, condoms can break you can get pregnant... I really suggest waiting but if you want to, why not buy some yourself that way you and be sure, if he forgets one and you don't have one... that's a big no go... also if you can consider birth control, its important to not only protect yourself from STD's but pregnancy... the more precautions the better however the only sure way is to wait... I suggest really thinking this over and making sure you both are ready... p.s. if you can't talk to him about it openly your not ready)...


ok so im 17 and i was wondering i have read that guys prefer the girls to swallow there cum after oral sex is this true or would they rather us to spit everytime i ask guys they say either way but i want to know seriously what they prefer i know it would be different for different guys but what would most of them seriously want (link)
Well I wouldn't know now would I want to... I would think swallowing would be more sensual... like "a part of you in me" sort of thing... spitting out could be a sort of "yuck to you"... it really should be up to you... if you cant swallow don't! it's suppose to be pleasurable not uncomfortable or revolting...


How do I win back my ex boyfriend that cares for me and I care for him but he doesn't want to be in a relationship right now? I mean we flirt, cuddle, play around,and hug.I'm very confused. (link)
Sounds like a classic case of fear of commitment... her wants the love but he wants it no strings attached... It's like a way to cheat without really cheating of getting around you since your not really together, its not a good situation to be in and you probably will end up hurt, it will continue this way unless you say something, you need to tell him strait up you’re sick of it! If he cares about you then cut the crap and make it official if not then it has to stop... it might end it for good which I know you don't like the idea now but in the long run that heartbreak now will save from more heartbreak latter...


I am confused because I like this kid and I think he likes me but i can't tell how do i know? (link)
Well I suppose once more the only sure fire way is to ask him and well if he's shy he too might lie, so I would suggest hinting r telling him strait out you like him that way if he does like you he should feel confident in saying it... you could also just plain ask him out if he says yes there you go... if he flirts a lot. if he is near by ever chance he gets, if he laughs with you or tries to make you laugh, then most likely he does, but once again the only way to know it to either ask him out or tell him you like him and see what happens... good luck and remember if he doesn’t like you back the world will not end nor will your life always be miserable…


theirs this boy named Dorian I really like him but he doesnt want a relationship and when he does he's confused and I really want it to work and dont know what to do Should i keep trying or give up what should I say to him (link)
He needs to figure out what he wants before he can work in a relationship. Why not be his friend, developed that type of relationship while he's trying to figure things out in his head, and that way. should he decide he's ready for a girlfriend you’re right there, close to him already; the perfect candidate...


Ok, so I'm still hung up on my ex boyfriend. And he has a new girlfriend. But, everyone tells me not to give up on him. (There's a lot of reasons why they say this.) And it would be so easy to make him jealous, but I don't really want to do that...and I don't want to use and hurt another person in the process. Does anyone have any ideas on what I should do? Thanks. (link)
You should either wait it out but hold on to your hope... you could flirt with him, or strait out tell him how you feel... I commend you on your morals that’s great to hear... this is a common and tricky problem... you need to follow your heart, if its meant to be then it will be... I know it's hard to deal with but if your patient and virtuous you stand a better chance of getting a second go at it... good luck...


Chatspeak burns my eyes. How can I jump through my computer and kill people who use it? (link)
Well I don't think that’s the good way to go... chatspeak has just been born to make things easier so people can type faster not to piss people off... but it obviously does... but if you killed everyone that did it the population would be greatly reduced especially just about ever member of the middle and high school, and collage students... so I think you best except it, or do what you can to ignore it... just wait till you hear someone use "lol" in real life... I hear that all the time...
